Gas smell or CO alarm: one script, every timeLeave the house with everyone in it. Don't touch light switches. Call 911 or your gas company from outside. Then Riley alerts your on-call tech. It never tells anyone to relight a pilot, reset a gas valve or sniff around the line. The wording follows what gas utilities, the CPSC and Health Canada tell the public.
Water near electricsIf water is near lights, outlets or the panel, Riley says stay clear. If it has reached them, or anyone's in danger, the caller is told to hang up and call 911 first. Then Riley alerts your on-call tech. It gives no electrical instructions.
Floods and sewage go to a personA burst pipe, a leaking tank or sewage rising is urgent. Riley live-transfers to your on-call tech. If nobody picks up, the tech gets a text with the address and the problem, and the caller gets your first slot and a callback time you approved.
Shut-off instructions: yours, word for word, or noneSome owners want Riley to walk a caller to the cold-water valve on the tank. Some want nothing but "we're on our way." You pick the wording. It doesn't improvise.
Prices only from your sheetService call, after-hours, weekend and holiday fees, if you give them. For everything else: "The tech quotes on site before any work starts." It never guesses what a repipe or a tankless costs.
Gas tickets, licences and permits are messages"Is your guy gas-certified?" and "Do I need a permit for the new line?" get a polite "I'll have the office call you," plus a text to you. Your office answers licensing questions, not the receptionist.
Rental tanks: ask firstRiley asks who owns the water heater before booking work on it. If it's a rental company's tank, it follows your rule, which is usually to point the caller to the rental company.
Winter rules when the freeze hitsTell us to switch on the cold-snap script. Burst pipes, frozen lines and no-heat calls jump the queue. Routine drains go to the days you open. It never promises a time you didn't.
911 first, every timeAnyone in danger is told to hang up and call 911 first, because 911 sends fire, police and ambulance. Then you get a text with everything the caller said.
